Rasmussen: Conservative Anger Against Obamacare Hitting 'Stratospheric Levels'
Newsmax ^ | 7/2/12 | Paul Scicchitano and Kathleen Walter

Posted on 07/02/2012 4:39:50 PM PDT by Nachum

Conservative interest in the presidential election hit “stratospheric levels” following last week’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare, noted pollster and author Scott Rasmussen tells Newsmax.TV.

“All that did was energize conservatives,” declared Rasmussen in an exclusive interview on Monday. “The conservative interest in the election was already much higher than that of moderates and liberals. It went up to really stratospheric levels right after the ruling. We don’t know if that will continue or if it’s just a temporary response to the news cycle.”

My sentiments exactly. We need a poster made on resistance, the likes of the freedom fighters who thwarted the enemy, threw obstacles in the path of the enemy, who refused to allow the enemy to control them, who fought individually and collectively, and won many a battle, during World War II. Yes, jobs, property, lives will be in jeopardy, but sacrifice will be necessary. Be smart about your moves, but resist!

Whatever Roberts’ reasons for doing what he did, he is a traitor and belongs with the damned in the Traitors Hall of Shame...may he rot in hell. Traitors come in all shapes, sizes and colors, from all walks of life. And the SCOTUS gave this traitor the opportunity to betray this country, the Constitution, We The People.

No excuses..Roberts is a traitor and must be treated as one. Shame him, damn him and tell him to resign.

“At this point any warm body is better than Obama. Its going to be Mitt vs Barack and if you vote for a 3rd person or do a write in, you are really just giving a vote for Obama.”

While I understand your point of view, and may do the same as you in the voting booth, I would do so with an awareness of the danger of voting for a “Republican” who has liberal tendencies. I am thinking of our recent experience with Bush Jr., who pushed through a socialist, unfunded prescription drug program, who oversaw a massive increase in spending and national debt which fellow “Republicans” happily went along with. At least with Obama, these same Republicans are not following his lead. Not to mention when Bush decided to ignore the Bill of Rights and started locking up people without notifying them of the charges against them, no rights to a lawyer, no rights to hear the testimony against them, no rights to a trial, for so long as he liked. This was supported by many “Republicans” and indeed was supported by most of the “conservative” Supreme Court members.

If that 3rd party they vote for does not have enough US ballot access in 2012 on a state by state basis, to insure its candidate has a potential to even garner, theoretically, 270 electoral votes, then it is a throw away vote because he no she would never be elected since we do not have direct election of a President under our system (and I myself in the past have agreed that the 3rd party option should be there to put the pressure on RINOs). Still having said that, it is no different than studying market penetration by competitive products in business. Can you imagine one of the Conservative third parties reaching at least 34% of the vote (in a three way race) in EACH of the states that they would be required to snag 270 electoral votes? Impossible. In fact, in some states the highest they might get is 1 or 2%. The 2012 November cards have been dealt I don't like them but they are the cards. In fact I could spit to the sidewalk about them. But it wont change a damned thing. If you could sit down with High and Mighty Emperor Obongo himself and ask what you should do (telling him to completely forget a vote for him), he would advise you as a Conservative and a Patriot to do one of two things. He would say "OK then, see if I care, stay home then this Election Day", or he would offer "Fine, jackass, go vote for one of your Conservative third parties." I would do nothing that the Emperor insisted I do. At least that is the very painful analysis I am afraid I have come do and I have to deal with reality.

Go ahead, dilute the vote and allow obozo to win. By all means, do not stand with We The People who realize we need a mega vote turnout for Romney, who is NOT a commie/socialist/marxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving thug. OBOMA IS ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Romney's not perfect, and we don't have time to find a perfect candidate. Romney is the official option we have, and we must not waste our vote. This is but a first step in returning this country to the Constitution, liberty and freedom. It will be our job to ride Romney's rear end and make sure he follows the will of the people. We must remove oboma, who will put his jackboot on our necks and go full throttle commie/socialist on us as dictator, and you will know how oppressed peoples in China, Korea, Cuba exist from day to day.

Romney is NO COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST. This is the big difference. Do not sit home and not vote. Do not dilute the vote. Soldiers in wars past fought and died so that we may be free. They understood who their enemy was, and they fought shoulder to shoulder, until they won the war. Let not their sacrifice for our freedom have been for naught.

The greatest shock to the system is that neoliberal anti-constitutional Leftist tool activist Justice Roberts instantly and singlehandidly converted thousands of tax lawyers into de facto defense attorneys with one single cowardly and devastating F up.

Are you delusional? Who are we going to replace him with? The media would tear this apart and totally destroy another candidate. Right now - we have a fair chance of dumping OBAMA! At least most Americans are aware that he is the candidate - it would be a confusing mess to switch horses in the middle of the stream!

Ye gads, I can’t believe some of the posts I read on here.

The federal government can now compel behavior via taxation, and there isn’t a damn thing that can be done about it.

That's what THEY think.

oboma is the one who believes in late term abortions, and then throwing the baby in a hospital closet, until it died.I remember this story well in Illinois, as was told by the nurse in the hospital who witnessed same. Google it.

I don't believe in abortion, because it is but the first step in trivializing life, who will live and who will die..the unwanted baby, the elderly, the disabled, all non-productive to the collective, and an expense to the country. Read the words of Dr Ezekiel Emanual, the despicable brother of Rahm Emanuel, who penned the idea of the Death Panels in obomacare...this is his view on life. Check it out on google. THIS IS socialist/communist/maxist/revolutionary/sharia law loving OBOMA’s beliefs.

I don't know to what extent Romney believes in abortion, BUT, I do know who and what OBOMA is, and he is the greatest, the bigger threat to this country. He is the enemy that will swiftly put his jackboot on our necks and oppress us with full socialist force if he is allowed to rule as dictator. Romney is not perfect, and we don't have time to find a perfect candidate that fits our full criteria. Romney is but the first step in returning this country to the Constitution, freedom and liberty. It will be OUR JOB to ride his behind and make sure he follows the will of We The People.

Oboma is the clear and present danger to us all. Romney wants to win, and he knows We The People can make that happen. We ride his behind and we must remember his election is but the first step in taking this country back from the left. We CAN influence Romney's decisions...if we work together and take a stand when he errs in judgement, and politicians do alter their policies when they realize that their choice was a faulty one. OBOMA IS EVIL. Romney IS NOT EVIL. It will be up to us help Romney steer his course in the journey to returning this country to the country we have known and loved.

May God give the American people the grace to recognize the enemy, and put lesser differences aside, in this first step toward regaining our freedom and liberty.

i actually think your right on this. And thus why the comment that the supreme court was not there to protect the people from their political decisions.

True. America may be doomed. And it makes me incredibly sad, not least because we are squandering, wantonly and rapidly, what many gave their lives for. I fear that the people in power are doing pretty much all they can to show God their contempt for Him.

We have to be prepared.

John Adams was great guy, but he doesn’t speak for God. Only God gets to decide whether we regain our freedom, and if he helps us, there is no doubt we can.

“hand out flyers with concise talking points on what is at stake in this war”

I’d like to find/create something exactly like this to pass out and leave in stores, restroom sinks, etc. It has to be so completely “dumbed down”, though, in order for the target audience to understand. Does a document like this even exist?

BTW, Mitch McConnell was being interviewed last week, and I was happy to hear somebody FINALLY use the term “lawsuit reform” instead of “tort reform”. People understand “lawsuit”, but “tort”... not so much.

Shooting our own. How productive is that? One of the reasons the Founders enshrined free political speech is thats how we think together as a people, thats how American brilliance works. I don’t think this problem we have will be fixed by any single event. It isn’t just about the presidency. It about how we let it get this far. It will happen all over again if we don’t reassert our control and the principles that inform it. This is not a drill. We need each other, as brother and sister freedom lovers, to get through this.

I'm trying to separate fact from rumor on this, but the IPAB may have been redacted from the law. Or processes are ongoing to that effect; can't tell for sure:

Of course, assuming this was done, it wouldn't surprise me to see it surface again later and be re-established, especially if money gets too tight.
